Teen Mom’s Mackenzie McKee and Fiancé Khesanio Hall Welcome Twins: ‘We Are So In Love’

Teen Mom star Mackenzie McKee joyously announced the birth of her and fiancé Khesanio Hall’s twin daughters.

“Welcome to the world Ja’Kharie Angie Hall and Ja’Meikah Angella Hall,” Mackenzie, 30, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, June 4. “Both named after our moms, the most beautiful ladies who mean everything to us. Born 31 1/2 weeks. 5,0, and 5,4. Both 17 inches long and O so beautiful.”

Mackenzie shared with social media followers that both she and Khesanio were “over the moon and so happy” about their daughters’ arrivals.

“The cries we cried when we heard those first cries. We are so in love,” she wrote.

In his own Instagram post, Khesanio lovingly recalled how his “whole life changed” the moment his twins “came into this world.”

“The moment I heard their cries was the moment I realized I was not in a dream and this is reality. Baby girls, I promise to love and protect you until the very day I die,” he vowed.

The professional soccer player, 30, paid tribute to Mackenzie for the strength she’d shown throughout her pregnancy.

“@mackenziemckee you have done so well through this pregnancy and I am super proud of you momma,” Khesanio added. “I know how much you will love and care for our babies and I can’t wait to see them in 10 years then 20 then 30 and more and more! 🥰🥰🥰🥰”

The couple received many well-wishes, including a congratulatory message from the official Teen Mom Instagram account.

“LOOK AT THESE ANGELS ❤️ Congratulations to you both,” the Teen Mom account posted in response to Mackenzie’s post.

Mackenzie announced that she was expecting twins with Khesanio during a March appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.

“No one knows I’m pregnant but I am,” Mackenzie confirmed. “There’s two in there.”

Teen Mom: The Next Chapter viewers subsequently saw a powerful scene in April where Mackenzie visited her late mother Angie Douthit’s grave to share her pregnancy news. (Douthit died at age 50 in December 2019 after battling cancer.)

“Pulling up to the grave, I thought, ‘I’m going to be fine. I’m going to be strong. I’m going to tell her that I’m pregnant,’” Mackenzie explained in a confessional interview. “Then I just lost it. My mother was there every step of the way with all three pregnancies and it has been extremely, mentally tough to not even get to call her and tell her it’s twins.”

Mackenzie admitted that she didn’t “really enjoy” visiting her mom’s graveside because it made her death feel “more real,” but felt it was important to acknowledge her milestone.

In May, Mackenzie opened up about some of the complications she faced during her pregnancy, including gaining 20 pounds of water weight in a 48 hour period. She was diagnosed with preeclampsia, which the Mayo Clinic defines as a pregnancy complication that can contribute to high blood pressure and potential organ damage after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Mackenzie insisted at the time that she still felt “confident” about delivering healthy twins despite the painful preeclampsia symptoms she was enduring.

“I made it 31 weeks with twins. I was a Type 1 diabetic and the twins are measuring in the 97th percentile so they are big,” she explained via Snapchat. “I know 31 weeks is soon but I’m also proud that we made it this far and very confident that the babies will be fine.”

Mackenzie and Khesanio’s daughters arrived just over one year after they announced their engagement in dual Instagram posts in May 2024.
